Death against time

USED. First edition. Pages with natural yellowing. Discreet crayon mark on the front endpaper. Contents in perfect condition.

Four incidents at the Tour de France have alerted the police: a hit-and-run, a violent assault, a suspicious intoxication, and a suspected suicide. For over a century, nothing had disrupted the order of one of the world's most important sporting events until now, when it's clear there's a killer in the peloton. Marc Moreau, a key member of the four-time champion team, is recruited to closely follow the culprit's trail. Marc knows that to win a Tour stage, some cyclists are willing to die on suicidal descents at over 90 kilometers per hour; but now there are also some willing to kill to achieve it. In a competition that seems destined for tragedy, where everyone involved becomes both victim and perpetrator, Moreau has the opportunity of a lifetime before him. Alongside Fiona—his girlfriend and chief mechanic—and Steve Panata—his best friend and four-time champion—he will have to choose between betrayal, victory, or even death in a frantic solo battle against the clock.
